Lemonade No-Churn Ice Cream takes two summertime favorites — lemonade and ice cream — and combines them into one truly refreshing and delicious frozen treat!
What does No-Churn Mean?
Traditional ice cream recipes require the cream mixture be churned in an ice cream machine. This churning process thickens the cream base while simultaneously freezing it. This no-churn recipe bypasses this step by simply combining thick and fluffy whipped cream with rich and creamy sweetened condensed milk. No churning, and no special equipment needed!
3 Reasons You'll Love this No-Churn Ice Cream
#1: It truly is quick and easy. Spend just 5 minutes mixing the ingredients together, pour into your container, then pop it in the freezer for 5-6 hours to harden. After that, it's ready to serve!
#2: It's inexpensive. The average price for a half gallon of ice cream is $4.76 dollars, and many specialty brands cost more than that for just a single pint. This no-churn ice cream recipe yields 6 servings, and you can easily purchase the ingredients for far less than buying a ready-made equivalent.
#3: You can customize it! Once you make the base, you're free to add any type of mix-ins and flavorings you like. In addition to the lemonade packet used in this recipe, you can add in candy, cookies, fresh fruits, coffee, pie fillings, even your favorite breakfast cereal...there truly is no limit.
Some of our most beloved flavor combinations include Salted Caramel Pecan, Double Chocolate Chunk, and Berry Pie No-Churn Ice Cream.
